DATE: December 5, 200
RE: City Co m in Meeting-Decei fiber 14, 2000
Proposed ordinances to create the Virginia Key Beach Park Trust
(J-00-404/J-00-1055)
Included herein are two proposed ordinances for the creation and establishment of the
Virginia Key Beach Park Trust. The first proposed ordinance is submitted for second reading
and incorporates the vision and recommendations of the Virginia Key Beach Advisory Board
("Advisory Board"). (J-00-404). I have proposed an alternative ordinance, which differs only
regarding the jurisdictional authority. (J-00-1055).
On October 26, 2000, the City Commission passed on first reading an ordinance
establishing the Virginia Key Beach Park Trust, a permanent City entity that will be responsible
for the preservation, restoration and accessibility of historic Virginia Key Beach Park ("Park").
At that time, the City Commission directed the Advisory Board to Meet with me in order to
discuss the Trust's structure, authority, powers and duties. The City Commission also wanted the
boundaries of the Park defined.
After several meetings between me, staff and the Advisory Board, nonsignificant
modifications have been made to the original Virginia Key Beach Park Trust ordinance. The
modifications are highlighted in gray shading. Included in these changes are 1) the inclusion of
the jurisdictional authority of the Trust, 2) modifications to the powers and duties of the Trust, 3)
reduction of the composition and appointments to the Trust and 4) the increase from one to two
year terms for the Trust members. I agree with the changes that have been made.
Although there were many changes that the Advisory Board and I agree upon, I
recommend that the jurisdictional authority of the Trust be restricted to the open greenspace of
the park and that the Trust act in an advisory capacity over the other portions of the Park. The
Advisory Board recommends that the Trust have jurisdictional authority over the entire 77-acre
historical Park. As a result, I have proposed an alternative for the Commission to review as an
emergency ordinance.
